9/10
One of Roger's best
23 February 2007
A lot of people didn't care for Roger Moore's portrayal as 007. I really did. I thought he was hilarious. His fight sequences were no where near as believable as Connerys were but I felt he portrayed Bond with a bit more elegance and class. Aside from the deplorable "The Man With the Golden Gun", and the overly comical "Moonraker", I found his other five films to be highly entertaining. Even Connery had his poor outings with "Diamonds are Forever" and "Never Say Never Again." The Spy Who Loved me is an excellent James Bond film. To me it feels like the first in the series to resemble a modern day action movie. It doesn't have the yucky grainy 16mm look like the previous Bond films from the 70s. The special effects are superb, the villains underwater fortress looks very realistic and 007's Lotus in my opinion is a much cooler car than the Aston Martin from Goldfinger.I also liked the Jaws character. I thought they could have done without his return in Moonraker, but they could have done without a lot of things in that one.

For a fun 007 experience check this one out. Its easily one of the top five and the second best by Moore. I think Octopussy is slightly better but many will strongly disagree with that statement.
